Don’t forget the Lieutenant Quarles from passportgate.

I'm keeping track of financial suicides, not 0bamacides.

I don't want them to remain nameless and unmarked like the untold window jumpers in the last Great Depression.

Do you have the Parente family who died in Towson MD this week. He was an attorney from Long Island, who did financial advice and whose checks were bouncing.

snip:
The family lived in Garden City on Long Island, a small, upper-middle-class community with one of the largest shopping malls in the world. William Parente was a tax and estate lawyer with a midtown Manhattan office. Betty Parente was a homemaker and a charity fundraiser.

Wednesday, Newsday reported that a Queens attorney filed a complaint in New York this week alleging he invested nearly $450,000 with William Parente, and never got the money back.

Bruce Montague, 47, an attorney in Bayside, told Newsday that he had asked Parente for his money back, after growing concerned about the uncertainty in the financial markets caused by Bernard Madoff’s multi-billion dollar Ponzi scheme.

Montague said he invested in about 20 different deals with Parente, funding short-term, high-interest loans with Parente in an admittedly high-risk venture that yielded substantially quarterly returns of about 10 to 15 percent. On Tuesday, two checks that Parente issued to Montague bounced, and the attorney gave information about his financial losses to the New York Attorney General’s office, which confirmed they were investigating Montague’s complaint, Newsday reported.
